Xfce is started 5-6 seconds

> cat ~/.xsession-errors-\:0

xfsettingsd: Unknown option --display.
Type 'xfsettingsd --help' for usage.
xfsettingsd: Unknown option --display.
Type 'xfsettingsd --help' for usage.
xfsettingsd: Unknown option --display.
Type 'xfsettingsd --help' for usage.
xfsettingsd: Unknown option --display.
Type 'xfsettingsd --help' for usage.

and so another 50 times.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon 

- start without errors
I don't understand, from where this option

Re: Xfsettingsd hangs up on start

I've noticed that when xfce saves a session, it adds the option --display with a display name to the restart command for most apps. However xfsettingsd refuses to start when there's an unknown option, resulting errors like you are seeing. Are you using a saved session?
